Praline Review

The Candy Cottage, Pawley's Island, SC 

I have been on a praline reviewing tour of South Carolina. Charleston, Savannah, Beaufort, Georgetown and now Pawley's Island. If they sell pralines it is my duty to buy one and do a taste test. I joke that I am writing the definitive critique of pralines. The catch is I haven't had one I didn't like yet. Mmmm....yep. That one IS good.

The other thing I am beginning to suspect is that they may all be made by River Street Sweets in Savannah and distributed to all the different candy shops so I am basically eating exactly the same thing each time.

I hope you don't think that will stop me?

The South Carolina Praline Trail

Sweeties, Georgetown, SC  

I've done a couple of Thelma & Louise day trips lately (minus the convertible, the cliff and Brad Pitt) exploring up and down the coast and we've discovered that after a little sightseeing and a tasty lunch we conveniently happen upon a praline shop for dessert. Meant to be! Nothing is better than a field trip with a little brown sugar and cream treat to cap it off. Savannah, Beaufort, Charleston and now Georgetown - bingo! Pralines.

There isn't much to review since you can't really hurt brown sugar, cream and butter unless you burn it, but I am willing to keep tasting and testing until we find the best pralines in South Carolina.

Today's sample is from Sweeties candy shop in Georgetown.

 

Welcome to Sweeties Sweets. Cindy Hedrick & Skip Yeager are the Sweeties, since 1996.  Some of the Sweets we make are displayed and available on this site but to get the full effect, aroma, and feel of our products you need to come for a visit to Historic Seaport Georgetown, SC between Myrtle Beach and Charleston on Hwy 17. Come walk the Harborwalk, eat fresh seafood, relax and enjoy.  While there look for the Old Clock Tower, we are just a couple doors down at 707 Front Street.
